This Persian rug is in the categories of Persian Rug (Persian Carpet), Tabriz Persian Rug (Tabriz Persian Carpet) and Antique Persian Rug (Antique Persian Carpet), and it has been introduced and provided by Persian Carpet Collection.
On a grand scale and in unfathomable heavy pile condition at nearly 150 years of age, this absolutely exquisite, incredibly finely knotted oversize carpet is the creation of the workshops of the renowned master designer, Hadji Jallili (Haji Jalili). A majestic, perfectly balanced series of concentric medallions radiates outward, filling its great expanse with a graceful sensibility of line and delicately nuanced hues. Close inspection reveals sumptuous tones of powder blue, peach, tangerine, jade, celadon, and many other sublime colors. While well-maintained, top-tier room-size antique Hadji Jallili Tabriz carpets have become incredibly difficult to find, wonderfully preserved, masterwork caliber oversize examples such as this are infinitely rarer.
